You mean Java ME has been deprecated by developers?  Not sure, just asking.

While I was ranting about compatibility earlier, I should have added 
that I think the best thing for Google and Android to do is to trade 
some cash and code for rights, and make Android the new Java ME, and 
bury Java ME in the darkest hole available.  If we could at least reduce 
the available standards, I think we'd all actually have something more.

Don't know about this.  Java seems to be doing well under Android.  I 
think its major challenge is that Apple insists on running their own 
proprietary stuff.

A big win for Java, if Oracle is smart, would be to get Google to 
support the full Java SE runtime on the larger Android devices, like 
tablets.
